Cucumber
Good nutritional profile
Raw cucumber with the peel.
Cucumber is eaten raw in salads and sandwiches or preserved as pickles. It is 95% water, so a 100 g portion has only 15 kcal and provides little beyond some vitamin K, more than half of which is in the peel. A whole medium cucumber weighs about 300 g; pickled cucumbers, unlike fresh ones, are high in sodium.
